    Smuggler’s Cove delivered an excellent dining experience. The oysters were exceptionally fresh, the peel-and-eat shrimp were cooked to perfection, and the whole lobster was beautifully prepared. Our waitress deserves special recognition—she was warm, patient, and attentive without ever making us feel rushed. The inviting outdoor patio and impressive wine list added to the evening. A broader selection of draft beer would be a welcome addition, but overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and look forward to returning.
